HELP ME BELIEVE...

Current mood: Aware...Conscious...Sighted...

So here it is...

And, I don't begin to claim to know what is going on in the heart, mind, and spirit of Mr. Franklin. But, what I do know is that his lyrics are transparent, his writing, anointed, and that this song reflects my current struggle and the whole of my heart...

Please LISTEN and be blessed...I know I was...still working on that thing called faith and that even harder thing called forgiveness (for more people and wrongs done than I even care remember)... I guess it's true what they say...'to whom much is given, much is required....' - or more simply stated, in a matter of speaking - 'no cross, no crown'...

Anyway...

This is where I'm living...a lesson I have yet to master...and one that I continue to pay for dearly...so let's hope I get it right and soon... Because the sins of others should NOT hold me back...

Namaste!

(Verse I)I wanna believeBut I'm having a hard time seeing past what I see right nowI see right now

I wanna be freeBut when I try to fly I realize I don't know howNo one showed me how

Wish I could seeThat this mess I'm in will really work out for my goodYou said it would

So, if you can hear meCan you give me a sign, 'cause I don't feel you like I shouldPlease if you could

(Bridge I)My faith is almost goneI can't hold on much longerTake his cup from me
